Merry Christmas!

Well, it is now 7:39 AM and I've been up since 6. Not for any particular reason except that I always get up this early.



There was a time when the boys would come running in before the sun even came up.... normally Christmas morning would start around 5 AM. Seems so strange that I am the first one up now. Teenagers aren't going to be getting up that early when they don't have to!!



So...... here I sit with my cup of tea. And I know that they probably won't get up until around 10 or 11. Sometimes I think I should be going in and rousting them at 6:00 the way they used to do it to me! But it's just too peaceful to bother.









This one is from Deblin because she still hasn't found her password!!

It's that time of year again....

I'm sitting here watching the Eagles lose to Seattle on Monday Night Football. Crap!! And it's snowing there! Every once in awhile I do miss snow. But then I remember what it was like to shovel it. No thanks. I grew up just outside of Philly. Haven't been back in 12 years! Damn. I don't even have the accent anymore! But I don't think I'd want to move back. Nope. It's cold here tonight, 40 I think. But just two days ago we were at 80. Strange place, Texas. The cold fronts move in wicked fast.... but it never stays too cold for too long.

How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Eat enough turkey? I think turkey is over-rated. But I cook it all the same. Tradition and all that....

Damn, I miss you guys. It gets lonely in here talking to myself.

I hope you'll all visit before Christmas!
